Transcriber's Notes:
*Most likely the captain is George Siddons Murray as he was the captain on other
voyages of this vessel.
The sworn statement on this list was largely too dark to read, so a statement
was copied from another ship of the same year and port. The captain's name
was from his signature at the bottom of the list.
There is a column after the number of baggage. It is presumed from other lists
that it should read "protracted sojourn". Since that column is marked with
dittos for all passengers on this section, that column has been eliminated.
The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to the
quality of original document.
Passenger #346, first name could be Ives or Iver.
Passenger #346 and 347, surname could be Gferdson or Gferdrum.
Passenger #349, surname could be Klipwed.
Passengers #358 - 371 and 404 - 419, the quality of the list in these sections
is so poor that it is largely illegible.
